!!! need help !!!
I need some help, i have 99 c230 kompressor, seems like the battery died, no electrical at all, no lights, power locks, etc..
I tried to open the trunk to boost the battery, but for some strange reason the mechanical key will not go in all the way, it only goes in 3/4 of the way, my back seats don't fold down. Mechanical key opens the drivers door no problem. I got my hands on an emergency starter which charges the battery through the cigarette lighter but nothing, when i have it plugged in a red SRS light turns on on the cluster and stays on while the charger is plugged in.
wtf is going on, anybody have any suggestions

Hi,
check under the bonnet/hood and see if the is a heavy duty +connector, which can be used for jump starting the car. I am not familiar with your model, but many Mercs have one on either of the inner front wing valance areas. Check the owners manual.

This happened to me when I left my car parked for along time. There is a place under the bonet where you can hook up a + jumper cable to. You'll just have to ground the - anywhere you can. Mines on the right side, under a plastic panel/cover. If you cant find it, take of pic of your bay and i'll show you.
